As a post script, if you're out this way, then it's worth a look at some of the nearby village pubs not featured by this site.

The Cottage Inn at Langwm (yes, just the one "L" on my map) is interesting. One of the lady regulars specialises in standard fuschias, and there is a magnificent collection of them to delight the eye, in fact one of plants in general, in what seems to be a horticulturally very active and engaged village.

They only had on the one real ale when we were there, but it was well kept, and the pub food was excellent too.

The pub seems to have undergone a recent makeover and is quite smartly presented. The young staff are very attentive and efficient. I had an excellent pint of Spitfire which had travelled very well. It was a refreshing change to be asked whether I wanted it pulled with or without the sparkler too. So I was able to save a lot of time and wasted beer, and to get a full measure.

The pub food is better than average, with a range of accompaniments offered, e.g. a full salad rather than potato, and that is also a plus.

The only downer was the habit that one or more of the staff have for yelling at the tops of their voices constantly, even if only when talking to a couple of regulars next to them in a near-empty pub at an otherwise quiet time. Unfortunately, once one starts everyone else does simply to be heard. That's rather strange and I can't explain it. Perhaps they've been told to keep it lively, but truly, give it a rest guys. 7/10
